    Which foam gun size do you guys prefer, Quartz or Gallon size?

    Looking to order one, but I don't know which size to get. Which one do you guys prefer? Any pics of the comparision between the two?

    Added:
    I plan to spray the entire car once to soak for couple min, then rìnse off and spray another layer to wash. Would the quartz be enough for this?

    The quart size will do 1+ cars normally. Plus, it's no problem to refill.

    I was worried about the weight being the problem also, but I also didn't want to have to refill to wash the entire car.

    Quart is the easiest to move around. Just put 2oz soap in there and fill the rest with water...put it on the second-highest soap/water ratio and spray a blanket of foam on the vehicle and the wheels.

    Rinse the car off, twist the bottle off and refill it back up real quick with just water, and twist the bottle back on. Set the foam setting to the strongest and refoam again. The 2oz of product you initially put in the bottle will still give you tons of suds the second time around.

    There is just a bit of a learning curve to use your foam wisely at first. Don't hold the sprayer down the whole time, just foam the vehicle in sections and let the foam run down the vehicle a bit and you'll be able to nicely foam an entire vehicle and still have product to spare with the 32oz version.

    I purchased the larger size 1/2 gallon and I never fill the bottle more then 1/4 full. I clean 2 cars with that amount of soap.
    I now wish I would of bought the quart size. Bigger is not always better.
